George RR Martin has confirmed that some Game Of Thrones readers have sussed out the ending to A Song Of Ice And Fire.

Martin is still writing the final two books (The Winds Of Winter and A Dream Of Spring) but he’s got a definite end game in mind – and those paying attention to the clues already laid out in the books, have got it all figured out.

However, there are a LOT of fan theories going around and Martin isn’t prepared to let us know who’s got it right and who hasn’t.

‘So many readers were reading the books with so much attention that they were throwing up some theories and while some of those theories were amusing bulls*** and creative, some of the theories are right,’ he explained.

‘At least one or two readers had put together the extremely subtle and obscure clues that I’d planted in the books and came to the right solution.’

However, Martin is not going to let the odd GOT buff put him off his planned trajectory.

‘I’ve wrestled with this issue, because I do want to surprise my readers,’ he continued. ‘I hate predictable fiction as a reader, I don’t want to write predictable fiction. I want to surprise and delight my reader and take them in directions they didn’t see coming. But I can’t change the plans … I wrestled with that issue and I came to the conclusion that changing it would be a disaster, because the clues were there. You can’t do that, so I’m just going to go ahead.

‘Some of my readers who don’t read the boards, which thankfully there are hundreds of thousands of them, will still be surprised and other readers will say, “See, I said that four years ago, I’m smarter than you guys,” he added to the Telegraph.
